The envoys from the Fadland region were watching the ceremony intently, with extremely solemn expressions - this was actually part of Cassius' plan.

He deliberately built the altar in a shape similar to the "Pyramid of the Sun God" and performed grace on it in order to make them think of the "ascension ceremony" one hundred and fifty years ago.

It's just that he originally wanted to use [Bloodline Blessing], but now he changed it to [Imperial Grace] which has a more significant effect.

The people in the conference hall raised their heads, gazed up at the sky that was as bright as day, and watched the brilliant flames.

"Is this the power of your majesty?"

“It’s a miracle”

"so beautiful."

And on that majestic altar, bursts of powerful dragon aura suddenly erupted, attracting people's attention.

Even Cassius, who was high in the sky, looked down and gazed at the upper floors of the altar.

"This is."

“Legendary life essence.”

The swirling white smoke slowly dissipated, and a huge black shadow appeared on the altar.

The height of the Dragon Vein Ogre is nearly ten meters. Its fat body, like a mountain of flesh, is covered with red scales. It has several short and thick horns on its head, and even its back has disproportionate flesh wings.

The bloodline of the ancestral dragon has surpassed that of the ogre. At this moment, Rumple is essentially closer to a fat red dragon than an ogre.

And his life essence also broke through the shackles of mortal things and reached the legendary level.

As the wizard's level increases, by combining spells with a strong body, Trump's strength will become even more terrifying.

In Cassius's vision, the challenge level of [Giant Wisdom-Rump] reached a terrifying level 17, and his suffix was also added - [Legendary Monster].

"This imperial gift is indeed effective. I finally have a follower of the legendary rank."

Kaixiu immediately showed a look of joy.

He looked at the other two dukes. Medorash was approaching the legendary level, while Dolo was a little behind.

"Master, thank you for your grace."

Trump knelt on the altar, his ugly face suppressing extreme excitement.

"His Majesty!"

“This is such a powerful force.”

"Is this the Dragon Blood Noble?"

Most of the dragon-blood nobles who had received grace also woke up from their coma. They felt the surging power in their bodies and knelt down in front of the red dragon in an orderly manner.

An invisible soul bond appeared between them and the emperor, making their submission so natural.

"Ow—"

Cassius whistled softly, circled in the air, landed heavily on top of the altar, and finally spread his broad wings.

The outer sky became dark again, but there was still some residual light in the air. The red dragon stood with its back to the light, and a circle of glowing light was outlined around the huge figure.

"Long live the Empire!"

"Long live His Majesty Cassius!"

A loud shout suddenly rose from the crowd.

Then, as if contagious, the garrison soldiers cheered, the onlookers cheered, and the Falling Stars also cheered.

However, among this crowded and enthusiastic crowd, there are many strange people.

"Gods, ascension ceremony."

"I must go back and report to His Majesty Wilham! This empire is very dangerous, far beyond the imagination of some people in the kingdom!" Dayev looked at the red dragon on the altar with an extremely solemn expression.

He was extremely horrified to find that even he himself - a bard from the Kingdom of Thrace and a close confidant of His Majesty Wilham - almost immersed himself in this enthusiastic atmosphere and shouted the slogan "Long live the Empire".

"The Harpers want to overthrow a country like this by rebellion. How is this possible?"

"Abil, forgive me, maybe I'm just correcting some mistakes that are doomed to fail."

Richard looked around at the enthusiastic faces of the people around him, he pulled his hood down, hid himself in the crowd again, and disappeared.

The envoy from the Kingdom of Cassander, Favaro Gregory, seemed to be lost in thought, writing something on a scroll with a quill.

"Your Majesty, I think the Burning Empire may be an important aid in our efforts to defeat the Thracian Kingdom."

“It’s more powerful than we thought.”

People's voices were like a tide, washing over the wasteland again and again.

Hundreds of thousands of people brought the enthusiastic atmosphere to a climax, and their fanatical slogans of "Long live the Empire" and "Long live His Majesty Cassius" spread throughout the Anzeta Wasteland.

Cassius stood on the top of the altar, overlooking the restless crowd on the ground and nodded slightly.

"Long live the Empire?"

"No, that is just the wish of mortals. For a dragon, ten thousand years is not an unattainable goal."

"And what I need is eternity."

The red dragon looked up at the sky and thought so in his heart.

“I will never forget the coronation ceremony and the feeling of being almost paralyzed by the spell and intoxication that I felt.”

"Since then, I have had an unspeakable premonition in my heart - perhaps this empire will achieve greater success than Holy Fadlan."

——"Memoirs" by Dayev Nelson

In the late night of March 1786, 2 of the Third Era, in Istalia, the coronation ceremony ended.

Historical records:

The Red Dragon was crowned and the Burning Empire was established.

The news about this world-renowned event spread throughout the continent of Feanso in just a few days, and even caused a sensation in the entire main material plane.

The Burning Empire has demonstrated strong military power and has developed a unique military system that is different from any other country.

The five-colored dragon queen Tiamat and the platinum dragon king Bahamut simultaneously cast their projections to personally witness the coronation of the Burning King.

The Red Dragon bestowed grace upon his subjects and held an investiture ceremony similar to an “Ascension Ceremony”, which produced several legendary warriors.

The news spread one after another.

Just as the top leaders of the empire expected - the personal witness of the two gods, a grace similar to the ascension ceremony of the sun god, gave a great shock to the southern forces, and also made the name of the Burning Empire well-known in the continent of Feanso.

This is also one of Cassius's purposes.

It is easy to foresee that after this coronation ceremony, the empire will have greater say and become extremely important on the continent of Feanso.

Cassius also became more famous.

People also seemed to have discovered that the relationship between this red dragon and Tiamat was not as close as rumored, and there was even quite a gap between them.

Cassius's distinctive ferocious appearance, huge body of an ancient dragon, and his character that is not savage or violent, unlike ordinary red dragons, have aroused great interest among dragon scholars from all over the world.

Therefore, under the unremitting research of dragon scholars, the title of "Dragon Prince" was completely abolished and replaced by the more representative title of "Red Emperor".

"The Red Emperor rose like a meteor, but he did not fall like a comet."
